Hello, I'm trying to run an SQL update statement like:
UPDATE ControlTable SET @prevval := NextID, NextID = NextID + 1 I've tried using a range of different syntax, but nothing seems to work. This is something that does work in another SQL server I used to use. Does anybody know if this is something MySQL can do, and if so, what is the correct syntax? Note that I can't use an autoincrement column because the IDs aren't being put into a database. I've searched through MySQL docs and mailing lists but couldn't find any mention of this. Any help would be appreciated. Matt Fagan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
